 Breaking Down the Silos:
Planning for Discovery Tools for Library 2.0
an ALCTS Symposium at ALA Midwinter 2009
Sponsored by Innovative Interfaces, Inc.
Friday, January 23, 2009 from 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
Denver, Colorado
Event Code: AS1
Libraries today face many choices when trying to optimize resource discovery for their patrons. Much of our information resides in separate silos, yet patrons want an integrated, intuitive, and interactive discovery experience. Many companies have developed products that attempt to deliver that experience. How can libraries evaluate the options: next generation catalog interfaces, federated search engines, link resolvers? How do they choose which will be the best fit?
